Out for a nice long paddle on the Patuxent River in an area called Jug Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Eagles, Ospreys x 50 with young, many turtles, one big fat water snake, fish jumping. Red-Winged Blackbirds. Herons & more.

My kayaking partner has a darn good camera, is great for capturing close-ups of the wildlife we see on our paddles. He successfully captured two of the Eagles & this very cute Yellow Warbler “type” birdie. This little yellow guy followed us along the river for a few hundred yards, flittering to & fro.

Ogh, this little guy was basking on a nice hot rock until we interrupted it.

Ray! You are in Florida! There has to be a few palm fronds laying about on trash days after storms!

Good idea, just cut up a bunch from my trees. I cut them up and put in the recycling bin. If I let them lie on the ground. It takes 2 weeks for them to pick up. Then I end up with a brown spot in my yard.

Yea. The leaves are also a great substitute for cattail for basket weaving.

Hey @EllieMay , I showed a pic of some long grass I have for Opo awhile back. You had remarked you wish you had some. I could send you some or anyone else reading this.

It's laying down in a few places because of Opo. But it comes right back.

The lil chipmunk actually ran up to jack and gave him a sniff haha i wasnt quick enough to get a pic of that

Jack looks AMAZING & that chipmunk is cute as can be!

Is it fool proof??? Lol.. I would love some! I actually have people coming in this week to fix some sprinklers.. The sun is brutal and without water, my soil turns to sand in a blink! Now that I have all growing boys to feed... ?

And I love the barrel! Great touch!

 

[EllieMay]

I’m home!!! Awesome short trip to Bolivar Peninsula. We packed a lot into the long weekend but it was worth it! We caught a mess of blue crabs, specks, a few reds, gaft tops , some nasty hard heads ( poisonous fins) and the one little flounder... and a couple squirrel fish. Saw lots of wild life but unfortunately I don’t know all the bird names... plenty of gators..

And can you get over the cactus Island?? We went over to fish off the point and I got out to explore.. it would have been tortoise heaven!!!

It's definitely fool proof. My soil here is mostly sand.
Thanks about the barrel. I bought it at a roadside store on Marathon Key on our way to Key West.

Good morning!!! I have already put in an hour for my “paying job” but I feel like being stingy with my time today. I picked out a few more pictures to share from the weekend...
our cabin was located at the end of a peninsula with an inter coastal canal on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.. driving in was this little Shanty that housed some goats and chickens.. the goats liked to gaze from the roof and we’re seen frequently grazing on the peninsula..
The next pic was the view from the kitchen window. The point that you can see across the water in the pic was where all the sea shell and cactus were.. the dolphins fed there daily also..
My son really enjoyed exploring and digging in the walls of the bluff there..
And lastly, you’ll see Cinder with her new best pal Harley.. Harley is my brother’s Olde English bulldog.. he’s just a pup and growing fast.. I had ordered Cinder a cooling vest that arrived the day before we left. She had previously been unable to spend much time outside due to the heat. The vest was worthy every penny!! She was able to go for pretty long walks with me with out even a hassle!

Interesting holiday. I was looking at the Bolivar Peninsula on GoogleMaps to kind of figure out where you visited. Your references to seeing goats....and then I see Goat Island too.

That cooling vest is awesome! So you fill it with water to keep him cool? How long does it last before you need to get it wet again? And is it like dripping wet, or could he wear that and still sit on your lap without getting you soaked?
